Thankfully I live in a state where my vote doesn't matter at all. jfc.

Honestly would still respect them more if they voted 3rd party over not voting.
Sadly spoiling ballots with drawings of cocks is much harder with voting machines.
Those really aren't any different than voting for Trump or not voting.
If people really want to break the two party system it needs to start local and work it's way up. But everyone wants a solution tomorrow or not bother at all.
I'm a consequential so, to me, all of those people basically voted for Trump.
If you voted for Harris / Clinton then you're just giving the DNC more power to push ineffective candidates we didn't ask for, which is an even greater vote for Trump.
See? It works both ways.
If you didn't vote for Trump, you didn't vote for Trump.
The strategy to stop a lot of people from voting for Trump should be campaigning / education. It should not be to push people to vote for someone they don't want to.
Any Democrat is better than Any Republican. When Public Option healthcare came to vote, every Democrat for and every Republican against. The DNC wants to tax the rich, the DNC passed laws to remove money from politics and Republican nominated judges struck it down in Citizens United.
These aren't half-assed "not good enough" candidates. These are the progressives, and assholes like you would rather support actual fucking fascism.
God Americans are insufferable. You pillage and murder the world and blame anyone but yourselves. Why don’t you actually do something useful?
Their job is literally to get elected...
This is definitely a liberal take. I don't agree with those who didn't vote for Kamala, but removing responsibility from people running her campaign when there are obvious glaring issues such as retracting all populist messaging and appealing to non-existent right wingers voting against Trump was a real stinker to say the least. It's okay to blame politicians who didn't win for not winning.
Non-contributing rage bait. The Democrats were wrong. The Democrats still are wrong. And the Democratic presidential candidate was infinitely better than her opposition.
Nuance motherfucker do you speak it.
Nuance motherfucker do you speak it.
"If they dislike my party, they must support the other party, nothing else exists, right?"
In a two party system, especially when there's no clear "I don't like either" option then yes, nothing else exists. When you don't vote you're not saying "I don't like either party" you're saying "I don't care which party wins". If you don't care which party wins then you're in support of both parties.

Yeah that is the level of self awareness that created this bullshit. Fuck the Democrats. To be clear I voted for Harris but t Still think the Democrats suck
You guys deserve trump.
Like "the democrats weren't cool and sexy enough, and they didn't serenade me long enough, they didn't even have my favorite ice cream flavor".
This thread is full of it.
There's no campaign bad enough to justify electing the injecting bleach criminal.
They just should have needed to come out, point at trump and say "if you don't vote for me you'll get him", turn 180 and go to sleep. And should have won like 80-20.
I’ve been voting blue no matter who for 25 years and it didn’t stop this shit
Same.
And I'll keep voting blue no matter who.
BECAUSE LOOK AT THE ALTERNATIVE.
The democrats objectively were wrong.
They lost the election.
That’s the only measure of right or wrong that actually matters.
They literally had only one job and they fucked it up again.
They literally had only one job and they fucked it up again.
American voters had one job. To responsibly inform themselves and make the best choice for the welfare of their nation. They failed to do so, again.
We can’t control the American voters so complaining about them doesn’t actually accomplish anything.
We can, however, change the Democratic party to better align with the voters.
That should be everyone’s focus.
Your comment is both reasonable and reflective.
The DNC bots have came to lemmy. Like on reddit how they post some BS blaming others for not supporting a candidate that didn't represent them in the primary and likely wouldn't have in their office. Then they downvote reasonable criticism to guide the conversation to make it seem like their opinion is the only correct one.
blaming others for not supporting a candidate that didn’t represent them in the primary and likely wouldn’t have in their office.
This is irrelevant. On election day you get two options and you have to pick whichever one comes CLOSEST to representing you. A ton of whiny little bitches stayed home or voted 3rd party (pointless) because Democrats didn't align PERFECTLY with them. That shit ain't happening in reality. You grow up and pick whoever is CLOSEST.
because Democrats didn't align ~~PERFECTLY~~ very well at all with them
That shit ain't happening in reality. You grow up and pick whoever is CLOSEST.
Interesting, because it looks like people chose a different option here in reality. Maybe you're wrong and just wanting your ideal to be the case?
Why can we convince the Dem Party but not the electorate?
Or, you know, be the party that at least promises popular things, instead of the party that just exists in idle opposition.
At least we'll never have to worry about Dems after 2026. Maybe some better parties can take hold
Right? All they had to do was promise to Legalize weed, increase the minimum wage, put caps on rent increases, go after shrinkflation, make it easier to vote, say that healthcare is a human right, fight for unions, promise to help support people who currently can't afford to buy homes to be able to buy homes, and tax the rich and corporations more.
Oh wait, Harris did all of those things. Democrats have had progressive policy, but voters keep voting against it. Because Democrats have to be perfect and cant also happen to have a couple shit policies. The moment they have a couple shitty policies, or don't have all the progressive policies people want. those are all that matter and that means Democrats are just the same as Republicans.
Maybe some better parties can take hold
Did the DNC's strategy work? No? Then the Democrats were wrong.
It's their job to convince voters to vote for them. And if they won't take responsibility for failing at their job, then they're on course to do the exact same thing in 2028 and get the exact same results.
It’s their job to convince voters to vote for them.
And it's the voters DUTY to inform themselves responsibly and make the best choice for the welfare of their nation. American voters failed to do so.
We can't do anything about that, wagging your finger at voters will not accomplish anything. But we CAN do something about the party itself, the candidate, and the campaign strategy.
Fixating on things we can't change is a way to deflect from having actual productive conversations about things that we can change. It's a way for the DNC to avoid taking responsibility.
The Democrats are made of people. If you believe people can’t change, we’re fucked anyway. Thankfully, I believe you’re wrong.

The biggest problem with the US is lack of proportional representation. Winner-takes-all elections have led to the inevitable outcome. It's also why in Europe the propagandists are trying to push for the same system whenever they can.
